HR 73 is a Tennessee House Resolution approving 29 specific annual charitable fundraising events for 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(19) nonprofit organizations during July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. The resolution authorizes these pre-approved events - primarily raffles and reverse raffles - across 10 Tennessee counties, including events like the "HAMMER AND HEART RAFFLE" in Anderson County and the "ST JUDE DREAM HOME GIVEAWAY" in Davidson County. It operates under existing state law (Tennessee Nonprofit Gaming Law) and Constitution Article XI, Section 5, which requires legislative approval for such events. The resolution does not create new rules but formally authorizes these already-approved events for the upcoming year.
